Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 WebWasher 3.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 WebWasher 3.3

While trying out Mozilla Firebird, I noticed that the flash plugin is running
very slow.
Under Internet Explorer 6, a test flash file I used runs in 43 seconds.
Mozilla 1.1, 43" as well.
Opera 5, 43-44".
Under Firebird, the same flash .swf takes 55" to play!
They are all the same flash version 6 plugin.
And I noticed that the display of pages is going in slow motion.
In Preferences with the Fonts&Colors page, it's very noticeable.
It's like it's cascading in slow motion.
So I tested other releases:
Mozilla 1.1: flash ok, and Pref/App/Fonts displays instantly.
Mozilla 1.2.1: flash test failed, Pref/App/Fonts test failed.
Mozilla 1.3.1: failed
Mozilla 1.4: failed
Mozilla 1.5 beta: failed.
Apparently something was dropped between 1.1 and the new releases.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. play an swf flash under mozilla 1.1 and time it
2. play an swf flash under mozilla 1.2.1+ and time it
3. see if the Pref/App/Fonts displays instantly

Actual Results:  
All builds above 1.1 are slow to display, and the flash plays slowly

Expected Results:  
Pref/App/Fonts to display instantly
web pages to display fast or instantly
flash movies to play at the normal speed

My machine: Pentium4 2.4ghz, GeForce4, 512mb, WindowsMe, 32bit display.
Same config used for all the Mozilla versions I tried.

Can you attach the test-flash or add a URL for the flash ?
